Talk:Lords in the Temeraire series

Surely Lady Seymour and Lady Catherine Seymour should be listed with Ferris (as his brother's wife and his mother, respectively). We've got William Laurence listed under Allendale, and yet he's not in line for the Lordship. Almaron 20:41, 4 September 2010 (PDT)

I was thinking in terms of limiting family members here to the current titleholder and plot-significant characters, and describing other members in a more general "family" article-- I got delayed posting the "Ferris family" page. --Wombat1138 20:49, 4 September 2010 (PDT)

Given that we don't really know anything about Lord Kensington or Lord Seymour, do they really merit their own articles, or can they be sectioned off as the heads of their respective "family" articles? --Wombat1138 21:03, 5 September 2010 (PDT)

Might as well, we've got articles for nearly every minor character there is. Alternatively, we could make it so that redirects to the family article. The main reason I started this and their page links (apart from a similar format) was so that we could eventually speculate when and where these fictional lordships were created, lest history get out of hand.

I've added some excessively detailed speculations along those lines to the "Laurence family" article. *headdesk* --Wombat1138 17:37, 7 September 2010 (PDT)

BTW, from memory, Nelson gets promoted to "Duke of Nelson" in Empire of Ivory, following Trafalgar, and I seem to recall when doing some history work that Wellington gained his Talavera title from a campaign that occured at the same time as Victory of Eagles, so I'm guessing he doesn't have those titles. Of course, the battles may have occured sooner, as has happened before, but I'm not quite sure, and I'll have to do some checking. Almaron 21:11, 5 September 2010 (PDT)

Earl Of Kensington

Rankin states in Tongues of Serpents that his father's creation "dates from the twelfth century". I'll add this to Rankin family later, but I think it should also go on this page. Should we add an extra line to each Lordship, listing the date of their creation? Almaron 14:41, 23 October 2010 (PDT)
